Ozon sellers get first insurance payout after drone attacks

Insured Ozon sellers whose goods were damaged in drone attacks on the marketplace’s warehouses have received the first tranche of insurance payments totaling 8.2 billion rubles ($97 million).

The compensation was paid to around 90,000 entrepreneurs whose goods were damaged at Ozon warehouses in Russia’s Samara Region, Dagestan and Adygea.

The payments were made before the completion of a full assessment of the damage in order to provide timely support to the affected businesses, according to the report.

A second tranche of compensation will be paid once all necessary formalities and damage assessments have been completed.
